I found a watch-smith specializing in vintage pieces to service it a few years ago (after my mother gifted it to me) & I wind it for a few days every couple of months. It keeps great time too. My grandfather's initials are on the back, so that's special since he died six years before I was born.
It has the original box & serial number card. It was $65.00 back then, which was a more affordable Hamilton. Their least expensive models were $45 and went up to $250-$300 for the solid gold case models.
This, and my late Dad's Omega, got me into mechanical watch collecting. It is just fascinating that people can make these incredible movements.
Thanks for the kind words.
